How the WWI affected the author's family in Scotland and their move to Orkney for safety. Orkney is an archeological paradise - Iron age picts, Norsemen. The fleet used the Scapa Flow and the German navy was brought there after the war ended. The German's scuttled it. The local residents pirated the vessels. The author's father eventually bought for $20 a chronometer salvaged off the Hindenburg, which the author eventually sold it to the U.S. government for use by the fleet during WWII. (Scapa Flow from Old Norse Skalpaflói, meaning 'bay of the long isthmus') is a body of water in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom).
